Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Enum gained an __init__ method in 3.11 which just passes:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
passThat was added in #30582. One person questioned it at the time, but there was no response. The best I can figure is that it was related to special handling of __init__ in EnumType.__dir__, which you can see here:
|
def __dir__(cls): |
|
# TODO: check for custom __init__, __new__, __format__, __repr__, __str__, __init_subclass__ |
|
# on object-based enums |
|
if cls._member_type_ is object: |
|
interesting = set(cls._member_names_) |
|
if cls._new_member_ is not object.__new__: |
|
interesting.add('__new__') |
|
if cls.__init_subclass__ is not object.__init_subclass__: |
|
interesting.add('__init_subclass__') |
|
for method in ('__init__', '__format__', '__repr__', '__str__'): |
|
if getattr(cls, method) not in (getattr(Enum, method), getattr(Flag, method)): |
|
interesting.add(method) |
That special handling of __init__ was removed by #30677 prior to 3.11 being released, which leaves no plausible function to Enum.__init__ that I can see. It muddies introspection of the type, so I think we should remove it if that's really the case.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
